Re: Who would do better?

I agree, Stuart Townsend definitely would have made a better Anakin. If you've seen Queen of the Damned, him being the vampire Lestat (sure the movie didn't have squat to do with the book, but it still kicks ***!) is awesome. Did anyone see the ROTS parody with Jimmy Fallon?

I did. That was some funny crap. 'A-flippyflippyflippyflippy-lavalavalavalava!'

Re: Who would do better?

See I have to disagree with the two of you and say that he did in fact do a bad job. Compare his acting with Ewan Mcgregor's and there is a huuuuge gap. Now am I saying that he should have been as good as him? No, I'm just giving a way to compare his acting to other Star Wars characters. (And a Ford comparison wouldn't have been fair =P)

I think it was mostly in the fact that his anger just seemed so forced. It didn't flow like it should from an actor, instead it looked like he was saying to himself, "I need to look as angry as possible." And his lines were all so choppy, like a crappy soap opera star. "You..... underestimate my... power"

Re: Who would do better?

I agree with you about that Fetterthanyou. He is defiantly not in the same league as Ewan McGregor. He is such a funky actor and he was wonderful as Obi Wan Kenobi.

I understand the points that you have made and I do agree with you. I think he could have dome a better job than what he did but I can still enjoy the films and I think he could have been a lot worse.

Hehe though you could always compare him to some of the really bad actors out there and he looks brilliant (I am going to have a think and edit in some when I remember some of the really dire acting that I have seen)

Re: Who would do better?

we can't just judge Hayden Christensen like this, as Star Wars are really the only films he's done. Maybe if he were more like Orlando Bloom and tried out for more movies (btw Orlando Bloom is quite a good actor), we could judge on a fairer basis.

Mr. T should play every role in every movie, with the exeption of "Monster Dog Movie."

"monster dog movie" explain urself. you wouldnt be refering the cinematic masterpiece knownas "CUJO"? you know when the film studio puts an entirely different dog on the dvd box than is in the movie,that sort of attention to detail means the movie has got to be good!

Re: Who would do better?

ah, i c. didnt think you were...i should have known this involved Alice in some way. as for his acting- im not hip to his body ofwork outside of waynes world and that creepy decapitation excerp you dropped in the chat room.

back on topic though- i dont think hayden is a bad actor(he was good in "life as a house") -but i think lucas grossly miscalculated his range. he plays whiny well. and i think that all the actors in the prequels were dogged by having to act infront of green screens the whole time.
